The Rate Constrained Block Matching Algorithm, (RC-BMA), introduced in this paper, jointly minimizes Displaced Frame Di erence (DFD) variance and entropy or conditional entropy of motion vectors for determining the motion vectors. It is intended for use in low rate video coding applications where the contribution of the motion vector rate to the overall coding rate might be signi cant. The DFD ...

The recent sight system requires high stabilization functions for the longer range of observation and the higher kill probability. To this end, it is necessary to compensate rotational disturbances which are not stabilized with the conventional 2-axes stabilization system. This paper proposes a simple method on the rotational motion estimation for the stabilization of the sight system. key word...

Sending compressed video data in error-prone environments (like the Internet and wireless networks) might cause data degradation. Error concealment techniques try to conceal the received data in the decoder side. In this paper, an adaptive boundary matching algorithm is presented for recovering the damaged motion vectors (MVs). This algorithm uses an outer boundary matching or directional tempo...

Introduction: In this study, a computer analysis method based on a block matching algorithm is presented to extract the longitudinal movement of the carotid artery wall using consecutive ultrasonic images. A window (block) is selected as the reference block in the first frame and the most similar block to the reference one is found in the subsequent frames. Material and Methods: The program was...

The popular Biometric used to authenticate a person is Fingerprint which is unique and permanent throughout a person’s life. A minutia matching is widely used for fingerprint recognition and can be classified as ridge ending and ridge bifurcation. In this paper we projected Fingerprint Recognition using Minutia Score Matching method (FRMSM). For Fingerprint thinning, the Block Filter is used, w...

An improved algorithm for integer pel motion estimation based on the block matching algorithm (BMA) is presented for use in a block-based video coding system. To achieve enhanced motion estimation performance, we propose an adaptive search pattern length for each iteration of the current macro block (MB). In addition, search patterns that must be checked are determined using directional informa...

The H.264 standard allows each macroblock to have up to sixteen motion vectors, four reference frames, and a macroblock mode. Exploiting this feature, we present an efficient temporal error concealment algorithm for H.264-coded video. The proposed method turns out to show good performance compared with conventional approaches. key words: temporal error concealment, boundary matching algorithm (...

Block matching is a widely used method for stereo vision, visual tracking, and video compression. Many fast algorithms for block matching have been proposed in the past, but most of them do not guarantee that the match found is the globally optimal match in a search range. This paper presents a new fast algorithm based on the winner-update strategy which utilizes an ascending lower bound list o...

Typographical data entry errors and incomplete documents, produce imperfect records in real world databases. These errors generate distinct records which belong to the same entity. The aim of Approximate Record Matching is to find multiple records which belong to an entity. In this paper, an algorithm for Approximate Record Matching is proposed that can be adapted automatically with input error...

The most important issue in video encoding is motion compensation within a frame sequence. Block matching techniques are used by various algorithms [5], [6] to estimate the motion into succesive frames. Full search 2D block matching is the most widely used algorithm for video encoding in all standards (H261, MPEG1-2 , HTDV etc). It provides with the best SNR, since it uses exhaustive search to ...
